I want a blog on CAPS where I can easily reference and find all of the many blogs written recently regarding Climategate and AGW skepticism in general. Like a good individualist, I'm going to go ahead and do that myself right now. [more]

We can't even imagine what freedom looks like anymore. It terrifies us. That is why we will sit back like incompetent cowards and watch apathetically as Bernanke (or his successor) prints another trillion or so out of thin air in a desperate attempt to reinflate (again) the bubble that the bankster gangsters created. QE2 is coming to an economy near you (probably this Fall, but I wouldn't rule out this Summer.) We won't consider the effect this next round of counterfeiting has on grandma's fixed income. Screw Grandma! We have big bankers to save and pension funds and liquidity and stimulus and Krugman says it's the right thing to do and it's the Republicans fault and it's the Democrats fault.

The video of this was previously posted, but I like to read the words myself and so do others. I always prefer the written word in these circumstances. Try this for an experiment: next time you are watching your favorite politician, perhaps Sarah Palin or Barack Obama or Mitt Romney or Ron Paul - it doesn't matter, see if you can find the actual speech transcript on the Internet. Then re-read it and compare the way it makes you feel to the way you felt about the speech. If the words are more powerful in written form, I guarantee you have real substance. If not, you probably have fluff. Just give it a shot. [more]

Came across this video series the other day and now is a great opportunity to share it. You know, it's just a lot of fun, after being called a "flat-earther" and a "denialist" (is that even a freaking word???) to share such a well thought out presentation that is skeptical of AGW claims. [more]

I love early year predictions. We have people debating gold vs. oil, worrying about Peak Oil (a really stupid idea), even Peak Gold (an even dumber idea), and other scary scenarios that will wipe out your portfolio unless we implement eugenics. [more]
